Zanotti makes history, sets games record, nears 100 goals at Corinthians | OneFootball

Last Friday night (03) was a memorable one for Gabi Zanotti at Corinthians. In the 5-1 win over Red Bull Bragantino at Fazendinha, the No. 10 reached 259 matches for the club and became the player with the most appearances in the history of the women’s team.

The historic milestone came shortly after a tribute held before kickoff. Zanotti was honored alongside Vic Albuquerque, who also reached 258 matches and matched the total recorded by Grazi, a former player who had until then shared the top spot in the ranking. Both received commemorative plaques and personalized shirts in recognition of the legacy they have built at the club.

On the field, the attacking midfielder crowned the special night with a great performance. Gabi Zanotti scored twice in the match, opening the scoring and also adding one of the goals in the rout. Vic Albuquerque, the other player honored that night, also found the net, contributing directly to the Brabas’ positive result.

In addition to the appearance record, Zanotti is also closing in on another impressive milestone in a Corinthians shirt. With the two goals scored against Bragantino, the player reached 91 goals for the club and began the countdown toward her 100th. In total, she also has 35 assists, surpassing the mark of 120 direct goal contributions.

The No. 10 currently sits second among the top scorers in the history of Corinthians Women, behind only Vic Albuquerque, who has already passed the 100-goal mark. In the 2026 season, Zanotti is enjoying yet another standout moment, serving as one of the team’s main attacking references.

The ranking of players with the most appearances for Corinthians includes important names from the club’s recent history. After Zanotti (259), come Grazi and Vic Albuquerque (258), Paulinha (256), Yasmim (236), Tamires (217), Pardal (187), Katiuscia (184), Lelê (180), and Millene (162). Among them, Grazi, Paulinha, Yasmim, Pardal, Katiuscia, and Millene are no longer part of the black-and-white squad.

With the result against Red Bull Bragantino, Corinthians reached 13 points and moved to the top of the Brazilian Women’s Championship. The team returns to the field next Thursday (09), at 10 p.m. (Brasília time), when they face Kansas City Current in the United States in the semifinals of the Teal Rising Cup.
